I am not a coffee connoisseur; far from it. That said, I've had some pretty good coffee in my life - in Haiti, in France, in the Middle East, brought back by friends from Costa Rica and Ecuador. But usually, I'm drinking the cheapest pre-ground I can find at the store or Walmart-bought K-cups at work. My intake is 2-3 cups a day and up until a couple of weeks ago, I was fine with the taste of my daily coffee - until I wasn't.
We ordered Cold Brew No. 13 beans from this new company, North Arrow Coffee, mostly because we liked what they stood for and that the company was founded by fellow veterans. I really didn't expect much (sorry!), but ran some of the beans through our cheap Mr. Coffee grinder (Course/Medium setting), and put them in Tupperware for the next morning. I measured out the grounds into our Ninja coffee maker, started a half carafe and took the dog out. When I came back in, I poured a cup, took a sip, and . . . wow. I took another sip and was blown away. The taste was perfect: smooth and light, but full of flavor.
The next morning (Sunday), I repeated the process and was rewarded with the same great taste. It wasn't a fluke! But what really drove home the point of how good this coffee tasted, was when I went to work on Monday morning. My usual K-cup - which up to this point had tasted fine - was awful. There was just no comparison.
I can't tell you about flavor notes and overtones and all that sort of thing. All I can say is that Cold brew No. 13 from North Arrow Coffee Company might be the best cup of coffee I've ever had.
